Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Behind The Scenes Photos

It’s amazing that even after 30 plus years, behind the scenes photos continue to surface from one of the greatest movies of all time, ‘Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back.’

Originally released back in 1980, ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ was the follow up to the film that started it all, ‘A New Hope.’ Imgur member joinyouinthesun decided to compile a comprehensive collection of over 66 behind the scenes photos from the iconic film depicting shots of Luke Skywalker losing his hand during the epic battle with Darth Vader, Chewbacca groping Princess Leia, the Yoda puppet as seen on the murky swamp planet of Dagobah, and of course a young George Lucas, the man responsible for creating one of the best movie franchises ever. Check out some of the photography below. [Via]
